Abstract

South Sulawesi regional literature is one of the local cultural products that needs to be preserved so that it continues to survive in people’s lives. As a cultural product, regional literature cannot separate itself from the humanitarian problems that exist in its supporting communities. Regional literature presents problems of human life. Thus, regional literature is seen as a means of introducing the culture of the supporting community. South Sulawesi regional literary works tell about the socio-cultural environment of the people of South Sulawesi as a form of depiction of people’s lives according to their time and contain many local wisdom values that can be used as guidance and reflection in living life. Therefore, in this article we examine ecocriticism in South Sulawesi regional literature, the values contained in South Sulawesi regional literature, as well as the introduction of local wisdom values in the millennial generation through literary learning. To reveal this, a study of South Sulawesi regional literary works was carried out, then analyzed descriptively using a literary chology approach, namely a literary approach that focuses on the relationship between literature and its environment. This study attempts to observe that the environmental crisis not only raises technical, scientific and political questions but also cultural issues related to literary phenomena. Based on an analysis of South Sulawesi regional literature, environmental wisdom values were found such as (1) respect for nature, (2) responsible attitude towards nature (moral responsibility for nature), (3) compassion and concern for nature (caring for nature), and (4) not harming nature (no harm). The strategy for introducing the value of environmental wisdom to the millennial generation is carried out through literature learning with various techniques (1) storytelling techniques; (2) sociodrama and role playing techniques; and (3) field trip action technique.
